Uzbekistan

Agents' voices slice the night-shrouded office exterior, Uzbekistan erupting as Ali's shadowed journey across Central Asian vastness. Rugged steppes and veiled bazaars ignite FBI probes, his footsteps there twisted into terror blueprints amid mosque-tied paranoia. Suspicion grips the name like a vise, fueling lockdown dread until Germany's whisper shatters the illusion—exposing prejudice coiled in distant memory. Tension fractures, but the far-off nation's echo lingers as bias's raw trigger.
